10 Claims. (01. 131-215) The present invention pertains to tobacco Illustrative of the embodiment disclosed, the smoking implements and is particularly conpipe generally denoted Roomprises a bowl B, cerned with underslung pipes of the type, having and a mouthpiece portion Specifically how-. its smoke conducting mouth piece portion reever thebowl includes a body having the exmovably but frictionally associated with a laterpanded substantially cylindrically. shaped pait ally extending nipple disposed at the upper part III integral with base ll including a lower of the bowl and communicating with the interior rectilinear face l2 and an interior tobacco reof the latter and with the mouthpiece portion. ceiving concavity I3. f.. One aspect of the invention deals with a pipe of Integral with the body of the bowl which may the character referred to: wherein the bowl be of a suitablewood or of any appropriate mate thereof is provided with means whereby it may rial is the contracted portion M which includes a be conveniently locatedon a supporting surface vertically arranged bore or well I5 the walls of without causing involuntary tilting of the pipe which frictionally'hold and secure the cylindrical both longitudinally and transversely thereof and and hollow container or receptacle l6 -havingfan during such relation the mouth piece portionor uninterrupted bottom wall H. v Container l6 conbit is disposed substantially parallel to the supstitutes means'for receivingtheproducts' of cone porting surface and appreciably spaced therecentrationseparated from the smoke fumes after from. In another aspect of the invention, the thelatter have entered the orifice I8 at the upper bowl is provided with a separate receptacle which end ,of the saliva collectingreceptacle. 4 communicates with the tobacco receiving conpThe smoke fumes of course originate inthe cavity of the bowl and serves as meansfor colconcavity I3 and are drawn through the inclined lecting products of condensation or saliva sepaor biased channel l9. into orifice l8 and accord? rated from the smoke fumes, thus insuring a ing-to theinvention these fumes as theyfiow into relatively dry smoke to the user. In'another Orifice I8- impinge. the rectilinear face l9 of 'the aspect of'the invention, serviceable and .coopclosure locking member generally designated L erative means for appropriately closing the. saliva which embodies a head or key.20 having a'cent'ral collecting receptacle or casing has been provided expanded part-.2! provided (with curved sides 22 I and such cooperative closure means isfsuitably merging with rectilinear sides 23 of the laterally disconnectibly interlocked with the, upper part extending lu s 24 integralwith t exlfltll'ldedv and of the bowl and transversely thereof and-fconcurv d Da r .W hI l P y Curved stitutes means for frictionally but removably shank 25 dependsand it is'this shank which sustaining a reduced inner part of'the mouth embodies .-a smoke fume; impinging rectilinear piece portion of the pipe. Other aspects, objects, vertical face H! which is provided'with an openadvantages, and structural and functional n ing 26 in aliner'nent withsopening 21 of the saliva tures of the invention will be apparent from collecting receptacle or chamber l6 and in aline-. the teachings of the following detailed de'scripe ment with bore 28 of the hollow nipple 29 intion considered in the light of the accompanying tegral with and extending laterally of the upper drawing which illustrates a preferred embodipart of the bowl.

This tube "-Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view on'the p fi y h annular e u d P n 3 line 33 of Fig. 2. i of the stem which comprises a vertical annular Fig. 4 is a sectional view on the line4 4 of shoulder 34 cooperating with the annular end Fig. 3. I V I face 35 of the nipple to limit the insertion of F a s o l VieW 011 t f 0f the reduced portion 33 into bore 36 of the nipple Fig. 3- s p i i Hand to limit the insertion of the inner end .Fi 6 is a p sp cti vi w of vt s wa l d of the fixed tube 32 into the receptacle l6 butterfly closure for the saliva collecting rethrough the expanded bore 36 of the nipple, opene p 0f h bOWling 21. of the receptacle l6, andopening 26 of the Fig. '7 is an elevational view of the receptacle depending shank 25-of the so-called butterfly? saliva collecting well or chamber. closure lock L. which has a central expanded Fig.8 is a plan view of Fig. 7, and part removably fitting into the, upper end of the is asectional view of Fig. '7. v bore l5 and its laterally extending lugs 24-re- 1 an adjacent part of the bore of receptacle or well i movably fit in the diametrically disposed notches 31 of the reduced portion M of the bowl.

In the assembled relation of the several parts of the pipe, the marginal portion 40 of the lower face of the expanded portion '2! of the locking closure L is seated on the upper part or rim of the receptacle Hi. In such relation the upper surface of the lock is substantially flush with the upper surface of the'bowl. Also the rectilinear face IQ of the depending shank 25 is spaced from IE to define a smoke conducting path. Moreover with the closure lock positioned as just described, the opening 26 in the depending shank 25 is in alinement with the opening 21 of the receptacle l6 and with bore 28 of the nipple 29. If therefore tube 32 be inserted into the nipple, the inner end of this tube will be tightly but removably projected into the opening 26 of the; depending shank 25 until flange or shoulder 34 abuts end face 3'5 of nipple I9. It follows thatin the assembled relation of the locking closure and the bowl, the tube 32 of the mouth piece portion cooperates with the closure lock to hold the latter againstits seat, to wit, againstthe upper rim of receptacle l6.

In operation, smoke fumes drawn through the bore 19 pass into orifice l8 and strike the rectilinear wall l9 which permit the products of condensation to collect and drip downwardly into the bottom of the receptacle. However the fumes now appreciably drier are drawn into tube 32 and to the communicating bore 30 to reach the mouth of the smoker.

Where it is desired to cleanse the parts of the pipe, the stem 30 may be readily disconnected from the nipple by merely slidably. withdrawing the reduced portion 33 of the stem out of the bore 36 of nipple. [9. This action removes or unlocks the inner end of tube 32 from the closure key L. Consequently the latter may be conveniently detached from the upper part of the bowl and this is readily accomplished by grasping end faces 4| of lugs 24 and lifting upwardly relative to the bowl. Thus access may be had to the saliva receptacle to clean the latter.

As many changes could be made in the above described construction and many widely different species or structural embodiments could be devised'without departing from the scope thereof, it is intended that all matter hereinbefore described in the specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawing shall be interpreted as illustrative andnot in a limiting sense.
